 عندما يكتبون القرآن في كل هذه القرآن و now you've collected the whole Quran, correct? You've got all of these pieces, you've collected the whole Quran. Who ordered the Surahs? Because imagine you've got all of these Surahs now. Who orders the Surahs in their order? Why do we ask this question? Because someone turns around and says, hold on a minute. You said Surat Alaq. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. اقرأ بسم الله الربك الذي خلق. You said that the order was what? That it was the first Surah. If it's the first Surah, why is it Surah 96? Have you ever wondered that? اقرأ is Surah 96 in the Quran. But hold on a minute. It's the first Surah. What's the second Surah to be revealed to the Holy Prophet? Anybody know the second Surah? قلم. قلم is which Surah in the Quran. Lots of hard work in the last weeks really been going on. Then say what's the third Surah in the Quran? Yes, let's say مدثر. Then after that مزمل. مدثر and مزمل are Surah 73 and 74. So hold on a minute. The first four Surahs of the Quran to be revealed to Rasool Allah. Yes? The first four Surahs of the Quran to be revealed 96, 66, 73, 74. Why not just make it a chronological book? There are different opinions. One opinion is the Quran is not a chronological book. Who said the Quran is a chronological book? Yes, the Bible tells you the history of man. Yes? And the creation. Who said the Quran is that? The Quran is a way of life. Not to her book of history. First, secondly, some people had their opinion which I must admit. I in my research disagree with. But this is their opinion. They say اقرا when it was revealed. The first five only are revealed verses. The first chapter to be revealed fully is which one? Think about it. Logically, what's the first chapter to fully be revealed? فاتحة. Exactly. So they said that the reason اقرا is not the first Surah in the Quran. It's because not the whole Surah was revealed. Until the whole Surah was revealed, made it number 96. So they said Allah put the arrangement of the Surahs in which arrangement. Allah put the arrangement of the Surahs according to which Surah is fully revealed. I differ with that opinion. Why? Because what's the second Surah of the Quran? اقرا. But were all 280-odd verses of the Quran revealed in one go? I don't know. I tend to side with the chronological. That you know what? The Quran is not chronological. The Quran is not a history book. Allah orders his prophet. His prophet orders his scribes. And then there's a third opinion. The opinion of Amin Islahi. And I think it's an interesting opinion. Amin Islahi says رسول الله chose the order of the Quran. Because how? When you look at the last verses of one Surah, they connect to the first verses of the next. Have you ever thought about that? The last verses of one Surah connect to the first verses of what? The next Surah. How? سورة البقرة ends with us saying we want guidance, correct? Do you agree? Do you agree? سورة البقرة begins by saying you want guidance. The greatest guidance is the Quran. سورة البقرة ends by saying that mankind will never put a burden on his soul which he can't handle, correct? سورة العمران begins by saying if you want to be guided and not have a burden on your soul which you can't handle, then don't neglect the holy books like the Torah and the Bible. سورة العمران ends by saying we want to achieve Taqwa, correct? If you read the last ayahs of Al-Amaran, it talks about how we want to be of the Muttaqeen. سورة النساء begins by saying you want to be a Muttaqi. Don't forget your social obligations to men and women in your community. Do you understand? The idea of Amin Islahi was what? Amin Islahi said when you examine the order of the Quran, the order was definitely constructed by Rasul Allah, not the Sahaba. Rasul Allah said بقرة goes there. فاتحة goes there. بقرة. العمران. نساء. مائدة. عام. عراف. فالتوبة. يونس. And so on. He's the one who said how it all goes in an order. Because if you look at the last ayahs of one سورة, they connect to the first ayah to the next. And I think it's an interesting theory. That it's a theory which makes a lot of mistakes. If all of you pond on the last ayah of سورة today, and look at the first ayah of the ones after, you'll see there's a connection where there's an unbelievable flow taking place. So the Quran, therefore it was written. رسول الله ordered how each سورة is to be placed. People like Abdullah bin Mas'ud and so on, they would say we would recite the Quran in front of Rasul Allah. And Rasul Allah would tell us that this is where this سورة goes. That's where this سورة goes and so on. Question. When he gave them that Quran and when they wrote it, did it have كسرة, ضمة, فتحة, مدى, دوت? No, it didn't. Why didn't it? Because when you know your language well, do you need all the vowels there or can you flow when you read?
